Saturday Week 6 of Easter

Apollos established from the Scriptures that Jesus is the Christ, and gave assistance to those who had come to believe through grace. Grace is very essential in the life of a believer. We can even say that without grace, discipleship is impossible. The Catechism of the Catholic Church defines graces as the undeserved favor that comes from God and which helps us to respond to God’s call. It is grace that makes our salvation possible. It is through grace that Jewish converts like Apollos believed in Jesus as the Christ.
Grace sums up the content of the early Church preaching and might have been the genesis of the dispute between Apollos and the Jews. In Christ, God had made salvation accessible to all, Jews and Gentiles alike. One did not have to be born a Jew in order to come to the knowledge of God. All that was required of one was belief that in Jesus Christ, a new life with God was begun (for this is what salvation is: a new life with God). This is the life that Apollos embarked upon when he came to know about Jesus.
